Formula 2 Driver Dies at Spa

I first heard the news while watching IndyCar
qualifying from Portland International Raceway, albeit just catching the tail
end of Liegh Diffey noting that Sebastian Bourdais was Honouring his Fallen
Comrade.

As 22yr old Frenchman Anthoine Hubert perished
from injuries incurred during Saturday's FIA Formula 2 Feature Race, following
Formula 1 Qualifying when drifting back into the path of an oncoming
competitor.

Ironically Hubert's Fatality is the first
since former Countryman Jules Bianchi's Death caused by his accident at Suzuka
during the 2014 Japanese Grand Prix...
